7.9 Downloading an Available iFolder

When others share iFolders with you, the iFolders appear with the iFolder Download icon in your iFolder browser. To participate in the shared iFolder on your computer, you can download the iFolder.

When a new user joins your shared iFolder list, iFolder announces the availability of new shared user with a pop-up message in the notification area.

The shared user also will get a balloon pop-up message in the notification area soon after he or she finishes downloading the shared iFolder. The message reads that the <Username of the user who shared the iFolder> has joined the <iFolder name>. Whenever a new user joins the shared members, all the existing member users are notified of the new shared member.

Right-click the iFolder Services icon , then click iFolders to open the iFolder browser.
